But I would bath the kids for Ireland, loved doing it, all that baby bubbles etc............
I might a chat this evening, maybe we will go again:D
Oh yeah, I forgot, I am firing blanks now.
That would terrify me. Babies can drown in like an inch of water or something. So many horror stories about people who leave for 5 seconds to get a towel and the kid manages to do himself in in that time
Do you just have to be really organised and have everything lined up and within arms reach? That's another problem with kids. It's as if the little feckers have self destruct buttons or something. There is danger everywhere. The bath, the internet, choking hazards, meningitis, traffic, weirdos, bullie, drugs etc. Actually, has anyone got a pill?

Calm down! As a species we seem to have managed for 50,000 years or so!

Ah,you get thru it, especially if you have a good parent to lend a hand now and then. When my son was a kid he was a nightmare, always coming home dripping blood, he fell out of a tree once and managed to impale a branch in his eyeball, on a school trip to a petting zoo, he got bitten by a donkey. We were in FOTA one time ( he was maybe six) turned my back for a second, and he comes charging out of a bush, being chased by a very angry wallabee, he said he did'nt kick it. The list goes on....:D0 -

I just hope it doesn't get too many of my genetic self destruct genes. I was caught on the kitchen floor eating firelighters one day. I still love the smell of them. I drank windolene (presumably believing it to be pink champagne) and was caught swigging chardonnay at the age of five. Managed to go through the felt garage roof when climbing out the bathroom window and crossing to our neighbour's bathroom window seemed a much more acceptable way of gaining access to see my friend than simply using the front door. My brother was even better, he got distracted cycling down a hill and went face first into the back of a parked van. The dentist knew the colour of the van, not because he'd been present but because there was blue paint on the stumps of his teeth 0 -

I was at the hospital this week with my daughter and a good portion of the doctors were much younger than me. That's becoming a consistent theme in my life now whereby people in professions like teaching, medicine etc. who you would look up to when you were a kid or teenager are now all younger than you.
Which reminds me of another TA. When you wonder why they are dressing kids in suits now and then realise that the "kid" is in his twenties 0 -

The 'suits' these annoyingly young doctors all seemed to be donning involved tight jeans and beards, which made it even worse as while we were speaking about serious things all I could imagine was bumping into them in the latest popular hipster hangout on South William Street0 -

The other day my son asked me "Why don't you wear something less boring? You should wear something colourful like a yellow tracksuit"...
Sometimes I can't tell when he's being serious and when he's just trolling
Driving me barmy recently with that irritating twerking move he's copied off the guy in that money supermarket advert :mad:0 -

I always have a giggle at 'that' guy who thinks he's rocking the corporate look but actually looks like a Tranisition Year student on work experience, in an ill-fitting shiny suit that his mum bought him, ironed for him and physically helped him put onthat morning, before sending him on his way with a packed lunch0 -

Just got a sales call asking for the md, When I asked what the call was about he said the md will know me, eh no he won't cos you didn't ask for the md by name. .
I asked what his firm did and he hung up. Listen Kiddo I'm doing this job 22 years I can smell a billy bullsh!ter.
Which reminds me of this: "Can you put me through to someone who makes decisions"
?????
